Eddie 66 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 ah yes . manual e36's normally use 3.45 , 3.64 etc . so high 2000rpm at 100km/h is there anything around 3.9-4.1? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 Doesn't the ti use the same diff as an E30? If so, 4.1 and 3.91 are both easy options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30guydownunder 2 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 is there anything around 3.9-4.1? In medium case you can get both there are 3.73, 3.91, 4.1 and 4.27 those are probably the ones your interested in anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 Doesn't the ti use the same diff as an E30? If so, 4.1 and 3.91 are both easy options.they are close but the ti has different output flanges that dont interchange to e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) they are close but the ti has different output flanges that dont interchange to e30. You just fit E30 325MS axles and modify the diff mount slightly to fit medium case in the Ti subframe. The 325MS ones are stronger axles and have bigger joints Edited May 3, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 Doesn't the ti use the same diff as an E30? If so, 4.1 and 3.91 are both easy options. They only run the small case diff... I had to change to medium case for the LSD & the ratio I wanted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Installed a brace for the front chassis next to the rear control arm mounts. Bit of a token brace with all the bends in it, but will be better than not having one at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
